Cliven Bundy Arrested Before He Got to Oregon Wildlife Refuge, Martial Law in Area, Panicked Holdouts to Surrender Today

Ammon’s dad Cliven had just announced this stand off was not over. He had just doubled down, instructing the remaining patriot militia inside the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge not to give up and declaring he was on his way…

And with that, feds in armored vehicles moved in around the refuge and Cliven was arrested as soon as he got off his plane in Portland before he could get anywhere near it.

Mike Arnold, an attorney for Ammon Bundy who took part in Fiore’s phone negotiations and was en route to the wildlife refuge with her early Thursday, told The Washington Post that he was “extremely disappointed” by the news of Cliven Bundy’s arrest.

“It was a horrible strategic move to arrest Cliven while negotiations were literally happening over the phone,” he said. “That is not a symbol of good faith.” But he believed that the agreement reached Wednesday night would still hold.

“We can take comfort in the incompetent strategic move by the federal government,” he said, because it showed that “if Cliven Bundy can be arrested peacefully — the lightning rod of much of the discourse on these issues — then the folks at the refuge should rest assured that the FBI will honor their promise to peacefully end this.” (WAPO)

According to the official story, the feds claim something about one of the “occupiers” riding an ATV at a “high rate of speed” which caused the FBI to suddenly decide to move in with armored vehicles and snipers, but obviously that’s total b.s.

The feds just didn’t want Cliven to get in there and rejuvenate this stand off, as would likely have happened had he been allowed to make it to the refuge. Period. The elder Bundy was arrested at the Portland airport late last night, supposedly on the same charges as Ammon (conspiracy and weapons charges) which makes no sense in this particular case considering Cliven hadn’t even been there yet… unless the FBI is openly arresting people for pre-crimes now.

The few remaining people holding out at the refuge claim they will be surrendering sometime today.
